With one purchase, investors can own a wide swath of companies. One share of an index fund based on the S&P 500 provides ownership in hundreds of companies, while a share of Nasdaq-100 fund offers exposure to about 100 companies.</li> <li><strong>Lower risk:</strong> Because they’re diversified, investing in an index fund is lower risk than <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/how-to-invest-in-stocks/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="owning a few individual stocks" data-type="LINK" data-position="9" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">owning a few individual stocks</a>. That doesn’t mean you can’t lose money or that they’re as safe as a CD, for example, but the index will usually fluctuate a lot less than an individual stock.</li> <li><strong>Low cost:</strong> Index funds can charge very little for these benefits, with a low <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/what-is-an-expense-ratio/">expense ratio</a>. For larger funds you may pay $3 to $10 per year for every $10,000 you have invested. In fact, one fund we mentioned earlier, Fidelity’s ZERO Large Cap Index, charges you no expense ratio at all. When it comes to index funds, cost is one of the most important factors in your total return.</li> </ul> <p>While some funds such as S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 index funds allow you to own companies across industries, other funds own only a specific industry, country or even investing style (say, <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/how-to-invest-in-dividend-stocks/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="dividend stocks" data-type="LINK" data-position="11" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">dividend stocks</a>).</p></div> <div class="bankrate-insight"> <div class="border-l-4 border-blue bg-white p-8 h-full display-flex flex-direction-column sm:flex-direction-row box-shadow-1 rounded-md"> <div class="Icon flex-shrink-0 Icon--md mb-6 mx-auto sm:mr-8"> <svg class="Icon-glyph" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" focusable="false"><title>Lightbulb Icon</title><path d="M10.725 18.804c.22 2.389 1.25 4.196 2.486 4.196 1.243 0 2.277-1.825 2.49-4.23a.66.66 0 0 0 .08-.318c0-.667.458-1.22 1.042-1.918l.013-.015c.787-.949 1.764-2.125 1.764-4.025C18.6 9.844 16.429 7 13.2 7c-3.23 0-5.4 2.837-5.4 5.486 0 1.918.979 3.105 1.768 4.056l.028.033c.563.683 1.007 1.221 1.022 1.885.003.13.042.247.107.344Z" fill="transparent" class="icon-offset"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M12 4.386a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7V1.7c0-.385.311-.7.692-.7.38 0 .692.315.692.7v1.986c0 .385-.312.7-.692.7Zm-5.557 2.32h.005-.01.005Zm.489-.202a.674.674 0 0 1-.489.202.728.728 0 0 1-.488-.202l-1.384-1.4a.708.708 0 0 1 0-.988.689.689 0 0 1 .977 0l1.384 1.4a.708.708 0 0 1 0 .988Zm6.529 11.454c0 .385.311.7.692.7v.009c.38 0 .692-.315.692-.7 0-.718.501-1.313 1.141-2.065l.014-.016c.863-1.021 1.932-2.287 1.932-4.333 0-2.852-2.378-5.915-5.916-5.915-3.537 0-5.916 3.054-5.916 5.906 0 2.065 1.073 3.343 1.938 4.367l.03.036c.617.735 1.103 1.314 1.12 2.029.009.385.32.673.71.682.38-.009.674-.332.674-.717-.026-1.225-.761-2.1-1.479-2.95-.83-.98-1.609-1.907-1.609-3.455 0-2.18 1.825-4.507 4.532-4.507 2.708 0 4.533 2.337 4.533 4.515 0 1.526-.807 2.484-1.587 3.412l-.022.027-.008.01c-.724.854-1.471 1.736-1.471 2.965Zm-.008-4.051-.744.752v2.774c0 .385-.312.7-.692.7a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7v-2.774l-.796-.805a.708.708 0 0 1 0-.988.688.688 0 0 1 .978 0l.51.516.458-.464a.688.688 0 0 1 .978 0 .708.708 0 0 1 0 .989ZM2.192 12.322h1.955c.38 0 .692-.314.692-.7 0-.384-.312-.7-.692-.7H2.192a.698.698 0 0 0-.692.7c0 .386.311.7.692.7Zm11.84 8.252h-3.918a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7c0-.385.311-.7.692-.7h3.918c.38 0 .692.315.692.7 0 .385-.312.7-.692.7Zm-3 1.986h1.963c.38 0 .692-.315.692-.7 0-.385-.312-.7-.692-.7H11.03a.698.698 0 0 0-.692.7c0 .385.312.7.692.7Zm10.776-10.237h-1.955a.698.698 0 0 1-.692-.7c0-.385.312-.7.692-.7h1.955c.38 0 .692.315.692.7 0 .385-.311.7-.692.7Zm-4.259-5.617a.33.33 0 0 0 .003 0h-.008.005Zm-.49-.202c.138.13.31.2.49.202a.674.674 0 0 0 .488-.202l1.384-1.4a.708.708 0 0 0 0-.988.689.689 0 0 0-.978 0l-1.384 1.4a.708.708 0 0 0 0 .988Z" class="icon-base"/></svg></div> <div class="flex-grow"> <h4 class="mt-0 mb-4 max-w text-center sm:text-left"> Bankrate Staff Insight </h4> <div class="type-body-one text-slate text-center sm:text-left mb-0-last-child"> <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <p>“Index funds are a great way for most people to invest because you easily get access to a diversified portfolio at a low cost.

Research and analyze index funds</h3> <p>Your first step is finding what you want to invest in. While an S&P 500 index fund is the most popular index fund, they also exist for different industries, countries and even investment styles. So you need to consider what exactly you want to invest in and why it might hold opportunity:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Location:</strong> Consider the geographic location of the investments. A broad index such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 owns American companies, while other index funds might focus on a narrower location (France) or an equally broad one (Asia-Pacific).</li> <li><strong>Business:</strong> Which <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/stock-market-sectors-guide/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="market sector" data-type="LINK" data-position="17" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">market sector</a> is the index fund investing in? Is it invested in pharma companies making new drugs, or maybe tech companies? Some funds specialize in certain industries and avoid others.</li> <li><strong>Market opportunity:</strong> What opportunity does the index fund present? Is the fund buying pharma companies because they’re making the next blockbuster drug or because they’re cash cows paying dividends? Some funds invest in <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/high-dividend-stocks/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="high-yield stocks" data-type="LINK" data-position="18" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">high-yield stocks</a> while others want high-growth stocks.</li> </ul> <p>You’ll want to carefully examine what the fund is investing in, so you have some idea of what you actually own. Sometimes the labels on an index fund can be misleading. But you can check the index’s holdings to see exactly what’s in the fund.</p> <h3>2. Decide which index fund to buy</h3> <p>After you’ve found a fund you like, you can look at other factors that may make it a good fit for your portfolio. The fund’s expenses are huge factors that could make – or cost – you tens of thousands of dollars over time.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Expenses:</strong> Compare the expenses of each fund you’re considering. Sometimes a fund based on a similar index can charge 20 times as much as another.</li> <li><strong>Taxes:</strong> For certain legal reasons, mutual funds tend to be less tax-efficient than ETFs. At the end of the year many mutual funds pay a taxable capital gains distribution, while ETFs do not.</li> <li><strong>Investment minimums:</strong> Many mutual funds have a minimum investment amount for your first purchase, often several thousand dollars. In contrast, many ETFs have no such rule, and your broker may even allow you to <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/best-brokers-fractional-share-investing/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="buy fractional shares" data-type="LINK" data-position="19" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">buy fractional shares</a> with just a few dollars.</li> </ul> <h3>3. Purchase your index fund</h3> <p>After you’ve decided which fund fits in your portfolio, it’s time for the easy part – actually buying the fund. You can either buy directly from the mutual fund company or through a broker. But it’s usually easier to buy a mutual fund through a broker. And if you’re buying an ETF, you’ll need to <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/best-online-brokers-for-etfs/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="go through your broker" data-type="LINK" data-position="20" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">go through your broker</a>.</p></div> </div> <div id="considerations" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>Considerations for investing in index funds</h2> <p>As you’re looking at index funds, you’ll want to consider the following factors:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Long-run performance:</strong> It’s important to track the long-term performance of the index fund (ideally at least five to ten years of performance) to see what your potential future returns might be. Each fund may track a different index or do better than another fund, and some indexes do better than others over time. Long-run performance is your best gauge to what you might expect in the future, but it’s no guarantee, either.</li> <li><strong>Expense ratio:</strong> The expense ratio shows what you’re paying for the fund’s performance on an annual basis. For funds that track the same index, such as the S&P 500, it makes little sense to pay more than you have to. Other index funds may track indexes that have better long-term performance, potentially justifying a higher expense ratio.</li> <li><strong>Trading costs:</strong> Some brokers offer very attractive prices when you’re <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/how-to-pick-best-mutual-funds/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="buying mutual funds" data-type="LINK" data-position="21" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">buying mutual funds</a>, even more so than the same mutual fund company itself. If you’re going with an ETF, virtually all major online brokers now allow you to trade without a commission. Also, if you’re buying a mutual fund, beware of <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/load-vs-no-load-mutual-funds/" data-beam-element-clicked="ElementClicked" data-location="content body" data-text="sales loads" data-type="LINK" data-position="22" data-name="article-link" data-outcome="INTERNALLINK" data-beam-uid="2" data-beam-event="click">sales loads</a>, or commissions, which can easily lop off 1 or 2 percent of your money before it’s invested. These are easy to avoid by choosing funds carefully, such as those from Vanguard and many others.</li> <li><strong>Fund options:</strong> Not all brokers will offer all mutual funds, however. So you’ll need to see whether your broker offers a specific fund family. In contrast, ETFs are typically available at all brokers because they’re all traded on an exchange.</li> <li><strong>Convenience:</strong> It may be a lot easier to go with a mutual fund that your broker offers on its platform rather than open a new brokerage account. But going with an ETF instead of a mutual fund may also allow you to sidestep this issue.</li> </ul> <h3>Index fund risks</h3> <p>Putting money into any market-based investment such as stocks or bonds means that investors could lose it all if the company or government issuing the security runs into severe trouble. However, the situation is a bit different for index funds because they’re often so diversified.</p> <p>An index fund usually owns at least dozens of securities and may own potentially hundreds of them, meaning that it’s highly diversified. In the case of a stock index fund, for example, every stock would have to go to zero for the index fund, and thus the investor, to lose everything. So while it’s theoretically possible to lose everything, it doesn’t happen for standard funds.</p> <p>That said, an index fund could underperform and lose money for years, depending on what it’s invested in. But the odds that an index fund loses everything are very low.</p> <h3>Are there fees associated with index funds?</h3> <p>Index funds may have a couple different kinds of fees associated with them, depending on which type of index fund:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Mutual funds:</strong> Index funds sponsored by mutual fund companies may charge two kinds of fees: a sales load and an expense ratio. <ul> <li>A sales load is just a commission for buying the fund, and it may happen when you buy or when you sell or over time. Investors can usually avoid these by going with an investor-friendly fund company such as Vanguard, Charles Schwab or Fidelity.</li> <li>An expense ratio is an ongoing fee paid to the fund company based on the assets you have in the fund. Typically these are charged daily and come out of the account seamlessly.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>ETFs:</strong> Index funds sponsored by ETF companies (many of which also run mutual funds) charge only one kind of fee, an expense ratio. It works the same way as it would with a mutual fund, with a tiny portion seamlessly deducted each day you hold the fund.</li> </ul> <p>ETFs have become more popular recently because they help investors avoid some of the higher fees associated with mutual funds. ETFs are also becoming popular because they offer other key advantages over mutual funds.</p></div> </div> <div id="expense-ratio" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>What is considered a good expense ratio?</h2> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/mutual-fund-vs-etf-which-is-better/">Mutual funds and ETFs</a> have among the cheapest average expense ratios, and the figure also depends on whether they’re investing in bonds or stocks. In 2022, the average stock index mutual fund charged 0.05 percent (on an asset-weighted basis), or $5 for every $10,000 invested. The average stock index ETF charged 0.16 percent asset-weighted, or $16 for every $10,000 invested.</p> <p>Index funds tend to be much cheaper than average funds. Compare the numbers above with the average stock mutual fund (on an asset-weighted basis), which charged 0.44 percent, or the average stock ETF, which charged 0.16 percent. While the ETF expense ratio is the same in each case, the cost for mutual funds generally is higher. Many mutual funds are not index funds, and they charge higher fees to pay the higher expenses of their investment management teams.</p> <p>So anything below the average should be considered a good expense ratio. But it’s important to keep these costs in perspective and realize that the difference between an expense ratio of 0.10 percent and 0.05 percent is just $5 per year for every $10,000 invested. Still, there’s no reason to pay more for an index fund tracking the same index.</p></div> </div> <div id="is-now-a-good-time" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>Is now a good time to buy index funds?</h2> <p>If you’re buying a stock index fund or almost any broadly diversified stock fund such as one based on the S&P 500, it can be a good time to buy if you’re prepared to hold it for the long term. That’s because the market tends to rise over time, as the economy grows and corporate profits increase. In this regard, time is your best friend, because it allows you to compound your money, letting your money make money. That said, narrowly diversified index funds (such as funds focused on one industry) may do poorly for years.</p> <p>That’s one reason why it’s crucial for investors to stick with a patient approach to ride out any short-term volatility. Experts recommend adding money to the market regularly to take advantage of <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/dollar-cost-averaging-what-it-is-avoids-timing-market/">dollar-cost averaging</a> and lower their risk. A strong investing discipline can help you make money in the market over time. Investors should avoid timing the market, that is, jumping in and out of the market to capture gains and dodge losses.</p> <p>Stock market returns have been above their historical averages over the past five- and 10-year periods and several new all-time highs have been reached in 2024. This may give investors pause about committing new money, but financial advisors say <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/how-to-invest-stocks-all-time-high/">investing at all-time highs</a> doesn’t lead to poor long-term returns. </p></div> <div class="vertical-spacer pt-4" style="width: 100%; content: '';"></div> </div> <div id="faqs" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div data-cy="" class="Headline w-full"> <h2 class="type-heading-two"> Index funds FAQs </h2> </div> <ul class="Accordion w-full" data-cy="accordion-5c707f2a-92f0-471f-9cc3-d9edcf64f2e5"> <li x-id="['panel-span-classtext-what-are-index-fundsspan', 'heading-span-classtext-what-are-index-fundsspan']" x-data="{ expanded: 0, disableMobileHover: 0, }" class="Accordion-item" > <button class="Accordion-titleContainer px-3 py-4 sm:px-6 group sm:py-6" :id="$id('heading-span-classtext-what-are-index-fundsspan')" :aria-controls="$id('panel-span-classtext-what-are-index-fundsspan')" :aria-expanded="expanded ? true : false" x-on:click="expanded = !expanded" data-beam-element-clicked-no-delay id="" data-type="accordion" data-location="" data-name=" what are index funds?
